Again empty platforms and traces in most of Drenthe. The cause is a third strike day at NS. In the north and south, train traffic has been stopped today. This means that the train trajectory between Zwolle and Groningen is also affected.
The trains between Emmen and Zwolle do run, the train traffic on this route falls under Arriva, not under the Dutch Railways.
Trade unions call for action at the Dutch Railways due to stalled collective agreement negotiations. According to the unions, the NS refuses to take serious steps towards better working conditions and better working conditions.
It is the third time that the train traffic in Drenthe is struck by a strike. Last Friday there were no NS trains throughout the country. And last Tuesday action was taken in the West, but that had consequences for the trains throughout the country. The Dutch Railways then said that it was “not able to offer a reliable timetable”, which again made train traffic throughout the country by the action.
The trade unions have announced that more regional strikes will follow in the coming period if the employer does not respond to the collective labor agreement requirements.
